yay more LIS content ty
Gosh I adore EVERYTHING about this game! The art style is gorgeous. The character dialogs are SO well written it makes me melt! I could also fulfill my dream of dating Victoria Chase lol! It's just so peak!So so peak!
I wish this game was a liiiiittle longer, but at the same time, keeping it short and sweet allows for some replayability.
I will now headcanon my playthrough. 10/10
you havee to make it so we can play in browser! I beg!!! I can hardly use it when I download it on windows
im on windows. ., no matter how many times i extract or run the file it doesnt wanna work at all
omg I love this game its so cute but for some reason when I try to open the journal, it tells me "an exception has occurred" :(
this is happening to me too :( have u figured out how to fix it?
no it just kept doing that :(
How do I open the game? When I try to launch it, it says I can only run it on Windows Media Player Legacy or the word app. What app is needed to run it?
can we date the teacher?
I don't think this game will let you date the pedophiliac murder rapist.
why would you want that ew..
Alguien sabe si esta en español?
I'm on windows having trouble figuring out how to open it!! I click on game but nothing happens 3:
same i dont know how to down load it!
you go on download and click on the first one. then after its download's you click on the 3 dots go to the downloaded file and open file click on extract all download run it through it you'll have to do the rest on your on and done it's pretty easy. *Edit I'm going to try it in a video if I can.*

Is there a chance you will release it for android? :(
I NEED WARREN RAUGGHHHH
i love this game already and i just started:>
YES OMG THATS SO REAL
WE NEED WARREN IN THIS GAME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tf?? no we don't, this is a game for gay girls 👋🏼
Max Caufield herself is literally bisexual
fun fact shes actually bisexual because the developers did not see a lesbian protagonist profitable enough. plus her diary entries about waren were never anything near romantic. while max in double exposure is definitely bisexual, max from the original game was not meant to be.
Yes it is really nice small game. The drawings are really sweet.
A full game with some events, investigations, etc... would be really great in this engine.
pricefield all the way, dude. That was really sweet
played this game for the first time and finished my route with victoria AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH enemies to lovers is my fav trope that was so sweet and cute!!! i was giggling and kicking my feet the whole time THANK YOU SO MUCH
That's very sweet...I melted.
this filled the LiS shaped hole in my heart thank you for your service o7
no yaoi in game deeply disappointed
please stfu
just put the fries in the bag already..
ohhh my god that is a beautiful game!
Such a beautiful game with immense amounts of sapphic, flirty-filled tension. Brilliant work to the full team! The writing, graphics, replay-ability... just great all around!!
We played a successful Victoria route here if you want to see the choices we made (& ridiculous freak outs over every little potential flirt!)
I loved it, the illustrations are beautiful.
the game was so cute and wholesome, Playing this game after the original feels amazing, like waking up in a cozy bedroom after a weird and upsetting dream. I loved Life is Strange even with all the hard stuff in it. I laughed and giggled with the romance scenes and happy I collected the images. those people that said that they were disappointed this wasn't porno are so funny, as a demisexual I was glad this was just romance since I am more into that. all in all the game was amazing
If this isn't porn then it's worthless. The original game was horrible, this could have been the saving grace, but no. It isn't.
wtf does this even mean
Right..
Ofc you’d expected this to be a porn game 🤦♀️
Bro what.
HELP LMFAODJSJAANJDSK
Oh... That's not-
oh...
bend over big boy
I respect your opinion and to me the original game was amazing and if this game is not for you then do not play it. if your looking for porno then look somewhere else and hopefully its not about minors or fetishing and hopefully you separate porno from reality and next time think what to say cause words hurt. imagine if the roles were reverse, a lot are just looking for romance and it obvious from the tags and pics. and please be open minded. and not to mention your words of you saying "If this isn't porn then it's worthless." is disgusting.
crying child
video games aren’t made for you my dog
why do you want to play a porn game of a video game that you think is ass...
You're a whole gooner stfu
Loser
Enjoy the -128 downvotes

That's strange.
nothing needs to be said other than..... YES
love this soooooo much
I'm having some trouble running on mac, the game keeps instantly whenever I try to launch...
Hi! Sorry it took so long, but I just uploaded a new mac build that should work on the newer ones. You'll have to do right click -> open
hey can anyone help me idk if I can or not but can I run this on my phone
nope, its a zip file which is used for pcs
you are so terribly wrong for so many reasons.... phones can use zip files, also zips are just compressed folders. in actuality the problem is that phone hardware is fundamentally different than computer hardware. You could try the renpy plugin for joiplay to port the game over.
Short and sweet, doesn't overstay its welcome. Works perfectly on Linux. Thanks!
played this a while ago and i'm reinstalling it now because it's truly a masterpiece
There doesn't seem to be a way to reset the game to a fresh copy (playing on WIN)... I've tried deleting every trace of the game from my computer, redownloading a fresh copy from itch.io, but somehow all my achievements and whatnot are still unlocked? I don't understand.
did you remove your files from roaming?
Boys, use JoiPlay for Android 😈
How do I install this bro?
It doesn't work on mac :(
Will this be coming to android and if not why?
bruh
When I saw the characters in this page, I was like: "Why do they look the same and have the same name as Life is Strange characters?" But I was too dumb to notice the title, I only realized it when I opened the game. I love Chloe so much though.😭👍
Thanks, thanks so much for this. I really needed this after playing the real game. Being forced to choose between Chloe and Arcadia in LIS was gut wrenching. I'm glad there's a parallel universe where Max and Chloe could live happily ever after! (^_^)
